Skoda Octavia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil

So, the first step in changing your engine oil is to remove the cover over the engine. It is possible to remove this component by identifying and removing the two caps that give access to the bolts that hold the cover: unscrew them and the cover will come off. Also at the bottom of the engine block it is possible to find the cap for checking the oil, which can be carried out by inserting a stick and checking the height at which it is dirty. Next to this there will be an additional cap: unscrewing it will bring out the oil filter, a fundamental component for the correct functioning of the engine. The oil tank resides at the bottom of the opening that has been created. With a reverse pump, that is, which acts according to the syringe effect, drain it. Now you are ready for the oil change: after having (possibly) reinserted a new oil filter, fill the tank that sees its opening on the top of the engine block. Help yourself with a funnel and be careful not to dirty the other components. The game is done.
